Started Eyes Kit
A Drivers Guide to Spare Bulb Kits
There is nothing worse than preparing to start out on long late night drive, only to discover that one of your headlight bulbs has blown and you don't have a spare replacement. Driving with a headlight bulb not working, especially if its on the drivers side can make for a very stressful journey as you strain your eyes to see through the gloom whilst hoping that the other drivers can still see you clearly. Carrying a spare bulb kit in your boot or glove box can prevent all of this worry and hassle and get you back motoring safely with the minimum of fuss.
What to look for when buying a spare bulb kit
There are a wide range of spare bulb kits available from both online and high street retailers, but how can you tell if their quality is any good, and more importantly if they will have the right sort of bulbs when you need them? The first requirement is to check which type of headlight bulbs you have, this will normally be either H1, H4 or H7 bulbs. To find out which headlight bulbs are fitted to your vehicle you can consult the owners handbook, or type "Car Bulbs Finder" in to Google and use one of the free online databases provided by online retailers.
Normally a vehicle will use the same type of bulb for both the dipped beam and main beam headlights, but in some cases you will find that two different bulb types are used. Therefore to cover all eventualities you will need to buy a spare bulb kit that has both a H1 and a H7 Bulb. Drivers of cars fitted with H4 bulbs do not need to worry about this fact, as H4 bulbs have dual filaments and so are used for both dipped beam and main beam headlights.
Once you have found a spare bulb kit that contains your required headlight bulbs, you then want to check that it has the correct sidelight, tail light, brake light and indicator bulbs. Normally these types of bulbs are standard fitting on most cars. However there are a few points you need to check, firstly see if your car lights have clear indictor or brake light lenses, if they do you will need a spare bulb kit that has an orange or red tinted bulbs respectively.
Secondly, it is important to check to see if you have separate brake lights and tail lights, as some vehicles combine these two lights into one by using a twin filament bulb. If this applies to your vehicle check that your spare bulb kit contains a twin filament bulb, which is often called a stop and tail bulb. A good spare bulb kit will always also contain a selection of fuses ranging from 5 to 20 amps just in case, because a blown fuse can often paralyse important aspects of a cars electrical system.

Did anyone like the bare minerals Get Started Eye kit?
I have love the bare minerals foundation, but a couple days ago I got the eye kit, and I have to say, I think it was a waste of 50$, I am very dissapointed. i used it for two days, and I was not pleased at all. Today I went back to my regular cheap target makeup. I think it takes too much time and its too expensive. Plus it looks good in the DVD, but not when I do it. Anyone else feel this way? Maybe is it just the way I am putting it on?
i got the same thing and i didnt like it i wish i used my 50$ to get 10 times the amount of makeup at a cheap store that would have worked better! i agree
